Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Report for Zambia - 2013

14 May 2013

The 2013 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Report for Zambia tracks achievements on the 8 goals and 39 indicators in the context of the country’s development. The report is an essential tool for Zambia’s leaders, citizens and partners for reviewing the progress of national policies and programmes that address each of the 8 goals. In some of the areas, as highlighted in the report, we see signiﬁcant achievements. In others, progress remains slow.

By emphasizing ‘triggers for acceleration’, government and UNDP, as co-authors of the report, examine what has been tried and tested. This includes looking at lessons learnt for what could ‘light a ﬁre’ under relevant policies and institutions in order to either increase the momentum or get back on track towards achieving the targets by 2015.
